Charlie Bird and his wife Claire said his battle with motor neurone disease has brought them ‘closer’ as a couple - as they opened up on the struggles of life with the condition ‘behind closed doors’.
The veteran RTE broadcaster was diagnosed with MND in October 2021 and has been candid about his deteriorating health ever since, including the devastating loss of his voice.
Charlie now communicates using cutting edge voice technology in own voice and accent using clips from the RTE archive, with the help of his devoted partner Claire.
